I think EmergenC says you can take 2 per day but thats way more than the recommended amount of vitamin C per day. </p> <p>I took EmergenC when my daughter was older (around a year) and I just took one per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zicam-or-emergen-c-while-bfing#post-458430 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 12:29:08 +0000 Bluebonnet 458430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about zicam, but emergen c is totally safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zicam-or-emergen-c-while-bfing#post-454710 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 23:27:01 +0000 erwoo 454710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what's in Zicam but isn't Emergen-C just a bunch of good stuff to help protect your immune system (with about 1k mg of Vit C)? Sounds safe. I usually just take two 500 mg of Vit C when I feel a cold coming on or when I travel to help protect myself. Hopefully your LO's cold won't be as bad for you guys. It's always harder on the LOs... Get plenty of rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zicam-or-emergen-c-while-bfing#post-454707 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 23:20:31 +0000 runsyellowlites 454707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken emergen-C. You can also take vit D supplements &amp; probiotics as both promote healthy immune systems. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zicam-or-emergen-c-while-bfing#post-454700 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 23:14:44 +0000 sarac 454700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zicam-or-emergen-c-while-bfing#post-454611 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:32:47 +0000 Weagle 454611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are these safe? I can't seem to find conclusive information. LO has a cold and both DH and I feel it coming on. We've got a 12 hour drive in a few days, and I would like to boost our immune systems as much as possible in the meantime! </p>
